Transit adds Sunday service for N.Y. university

STONY BROOK, N.Y. — An expansion of Suffolk County Transit’s 3D bus route now enables Stony Brook University to ride the system on Sundays for free with their student ID, reported the ThreeVillage Patch.

Suffolk County Transit and Stony Brook University began their partnership in May of 2012 after students on the Transportation & Parking Student Advisory Committee requested increased off-campus transportation. For the full story, click here.

There are 16 Ohio colleges and universities with similar partnerships with their regional transit authorities, however, UT’s agreement with TARTA is unique in that faculty and staff also benefit with free access to community bus routes.
